I think you have a strong point here. ;)
In defense of the "simple" formulation i'd like to add, that it is also
concise and perfectly coherent with the type of content it represents on
metaphorical level.
OTOH, at second thought, Files & Folders sounds more accurate to me.
I'll let this sink in.
Thank you for your ideas, i think you both helped me shape a more solid
understanding of this deceivingly simple matter.
